Maxwell RC10-10 24V 1200W 150TDC CW Vertical Anchor Windlass with Drum (Vetus P105442)
The Maxwell RC10-10 is a fully automatic vertical rope/chain anchor windlass from the Maxwell RC10 Series, engineered for reliable anchoring operations on cruising yachts and powerboats. This 24 V DC version features an extended Total Deck Clearance of 150 TDC for installations on thicker decks or boats with specific mounting requirements. Equipped with a fluted stainless steel capstan drum, it allows independent rope handling in addition to standard chain retrieval and deployment.
Constructed from marine-grade stainless steel (AISI 316) and chromed bronze, the RC10-10 delivers excellent corrosion resistance and long-term durability in demanding marine environments. The patented Wave Design™ chainwheel ensures smooth, secure handling of rope, chain, and the rope-to-chain splice during anchoring operations. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
